This spooky attraction boasts two of the biggest haunted houses in the Valley, the 13th Floor Haunted House and the Zombieland Haunted House. Visitors wander through the mazelike building past all sorts of creepy creatures for 40 minutes while getting shrieked at, jumped at and terrified.

There were a lot of crazy things that popped out at us, and certainly many scary moments and situations. However, a slanted bridge that feels like it's at a 90-degree angle was definitely the hardest thing to navigate during the 13th Floor Haunted House tour. I've never seen anything like that bridge, which also disoriented our group when we made it across and back to level ground.

Story behind the haunting: The number 13 has been considered unlucky for thousands of years, and many buildings do not label a 13th floor to avoid bad luck. Some people speculate that certain buildings have a secret 13th floor where government-sponsored experiments occur. This haunted-house tour takes visitors to a secret 13th floor via an "elevator ride" to meet the beings that call the 13th floor home.

Most terrifying moment: During the 13th Floor Haunted House tour, we went through a tunnel of blown-up air bags that squished us from all directions head to toe, only to be released, completely disoriented, back to the blood-covered creatures.

Austin Bushong, a student at Paradise Valley Community College, was in the front of our group as we entered the tunnel.

"I didn't like it," he said. "It was terrifying. It was really stressful and scarier being in the front."

Coolest part: An actor posing as a statue in the 13th Floor Haunted House. He was perfectly still and didn't seem to be human until he jumped out at us. The setup for Zombieland, which is designed like a zombie-infested urban street, was also spooky with bloody creatures leaping from behind corners.

Insider tips: Wear comfortable shoes because there are a lot of uneven walkways and bridges. Don't go through if you're claustrophobic; there are a few moments when you feel trapped in the hallways and the bubble tunnel.
